Daughters of the American Revolution Musuem

Education

DAR Museum education intiatives strive to present accurate, engaging, and meaningful content about American history. As a decorative arts museum, we highlight the stories objects tell through their connections to people - the people that made them, used them, and lived among them.

Description of Education Initiatives: School tours, scouting programs and family events for kids ignite an interest in American history at an early age. Programs are designed using national learning standards to reinforce classroom lessons and a traveling trunk program brings hands-on objects, activities and lesson plans to teachers across the country. Family events build memories and offer opportunities for parents to learn alongside their children. The DAR Museum encourages life-long learning through adult lectures, tours and workshops on a variety of topics. For more information, visit their education page.

Fun fact! Memorial Continental Hall, home to the DAR Museum and DAR Library, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1935 for its role in world history, including hosting the Conference on the Limitation of Armaments in the wake of WWI (1921).
